Midget Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Cant doubt craigs ability as a speedway rider. He just seems to have lost his way a little bit. I for one hope he rediscovers his form. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Shame really - Cook rode for Ipswich in 2021 after lockdown - I saw him score a full max one week and 14 the next in summer 2021. To give him his due in 3 of his 4 rides last night he would have been up Vs Doyley or Emil and then both in heat 13 Edited August 25, 2023 by GeneralMelchett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW436 Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Have we really got to a point here where we’re gonna start threads just to have a dig at riders? I come here to avoid that, there’s a Facebook group that will be happy to have you. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moranboys Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 12 hours ago, davieb1 said: How long will he be around Not long I hope He's useless Useless eh,you're having a laugh,I've seen Craig cook since he first came through the ranks at Buxton and up until recently was one of the most fearless,talented riders out there,he's obviously had situations that have affected him, culminating in the incident at Edinburgh.so was Shawn Moran "useless" prior to him packing the sport in because in his own words,couldn't race for Sheffield anymore after they resigned him.take a long hard think before you judge Craig cook again,he doesn't have to ride but deep down,still wants to and I also hope that he finds his form back. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say you go to Leicester, why not go and tell him in person regarding your opinion of his abilities. No, I thought not. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 That @davieb1 How long will be be around Not long I hope His posts are useless Now I would call that a very hurtful & out of order thing to say, so how do you think a rider may feel reading that? Very poor post, you can give constructive criticism or suggest stronger replacements, plenty of ways to make your point, without calling a rider useless! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 People make comments without knowing the full picture. If they did they wouldn’t be saying these things and this thread wouldn’t even be a thing. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
